Weird drive axle weight situation

That's an awful lot of miles, I'm assuming you have fueled a few times in there?

 

I'm taking it these are diffrent loads? Just because it's the same thing, if it's loaded diffrently that will cause diffrent weights.

 

There is an AWFUL lot of variation there, even accounting for fuel differences. Something tells me you're not letting the rig "relax" on the scales by letting off the foot brake and letting the rig settle without any brake application as you're weighing. (neutral, no brakes while on the scale or if you feel you must, let it relax first, then set tractor only)

Are we talking about a dry product or thick, cold liquid? Livestock? Snow/ice?

 

I have a feeling you are not holding that rig to float on the scales as STexan stated.

I always allow the scales to take the rig, float a touch and ease in the trolley to settle her. (If it does not fall first... he he he...)

If it was a fuel problem you would have been over in Arkansas after fueling.

 

Or without looking at all the subsequent weights again .... He was running on fumes when he scaled after loading in CA, then added 200 gallons of fuel. That'd be a classic rookie mistake.

 

He's not being precise enough for me to make that assumption.

That was the first thought that crossed my mind, then he says arkansas fueling and boom weight is fine...

Makes me wonder what else is missing from this... short and condensed information.

 

Then they would have been over at the cat scale in Arkansas.
